SANTA CLARA  Rejoice, 49ers fans, as quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo reported for Mondays start of the offseason program. The teams social-media crew shrewdly paparazzied his arrival, all of which allows us to have some fun over-analyzing it.

The 49ers sure could use a positive distraction amid the developing saga of linebacker Reuben Foster, who wont attend at least the start of the offseason workouts while out on bail after last weeks felony charges of domestic violence and weapons possession.

Im hearing all other 49ers reported Monday, including three who could be in line for a new contract: offensive tackles Joe Staley and Trent Brown, and defensive back Jimmie Ward.

Garoppolo has a proven history of bringing a positive light when things look bleak for the 49ers (see: 5-0 finish to 2017 season). So, on that note, here are 10 over-hyped takeaways from Garoppolos arrival Monday at 49ers HQ:

1. His 10-yard dash: The 49ers Instagram story shows Garoppolo taking 10 paces (OK, more like 9 3/4). His time: 5.6 seconds. He looked left, straight ahead, panned down, left again, then straight. Thats midseason form keeping his head on a swivel!

2. Shoe check: My preliminary screenshot of Garoppolo came with his bright-white, Jordan sneakers cropped out of the picture. After clamoring from my Twitter followers and after further inspection, I re-cropped the photo to include what apparently are the Air Jordan 3 Retro collection. (Personal note: I sold the original Air Jordan III while working at a Cupertino shoe store in high school in the late 1980s, between my gigs at Deep Cliff Golf Course and the Cupertino Courier.)

3. GQ look: Garoppolos 5-oclock-shadow beard was on its game by 9:30 a.m. Its a look I cant pull off, though Im pretty confident I, too, can walk the catwalk in a long-sleeved, grey T-shirt with jeans. (By the way, Garoppolo went with a similar T-shirt/jeans ensemble when he arrived Oct. 31 upon his trade here.)

4. Celek Time: Garoppolo escorted Garrett Celek through the players parking lot. Youll recall Garoppolo helped fuel Celek Time last season by completing nine passes to the veteran tight end in the final five games, including a 61-yard touchdown at Houston and another score the next week against Tennessee.

5. Parking hierarchy: Garoppolos NFL-record contract (five years, $137.5 million) apparently did not come with a VIP parking pass. He and Celek parked at least halfway down the players lot. Better yet, maybe they took my in-season lead and commuted via the ACE Train to the Great America station.

6. Backpack straps: Garoppolo makes for a wonderful role model for students when it comes to backpack form. Hes wearing straps on both shoulders. No need to misalign the spine with a one-strap look. Celek, by the way, also wore both backpack straps over his shoulders. Bravo, men.

7. Concerned teammate: Audio picked up Celek sharing how terrible the weather has been in Cincinnati, Celeks hometown. Garoppolo responded by asking if Celek was there the whole break. Garoppolo spent part of the offseason in Chicago near his own hometown, so he dealt with weather, too. Meanwhile, a hail storm and earthquake descended upon the South Bay on Monday.

8. Heart of order: Garoppolo did not bat leadoff in the 49ers Instagram story. Like any savvy baseball lineup, Garoppolo was slotted into the No. 3 spot. Defensive star DeForest Buckner opened with a welcome message: What up Niner Faithful? First day back. Ready to get to work. Second in the IG-story order was a quartet of second-year offensive players Trent Taylor, George Kittle, C.J. Beathard and Cole Hikutini.

9. Lookin a lil chubby: As social-media reaction poured in on Garoppolo Pic 1, one fan (@Sivansh21) dare tweeted: Is it me or he lookin a lil chubb. Retaliatory tweets came fast and furious. Watch your mouth there bud, tweeted @EvanSowards. Camera always adds 10lbs, added NinerFanDan. (Personal note: Cam added 10 pounds last offseason while writing about Garoppolos arrival, and my offseason program is off to an injury-prone start.)

10. Real news. OK, OK, enough of these jollies about Jimmy G., even though it beat doing a mock draft. Well truly learn more about Garoppolo and the 49ers on Wednesday when I head to 49ers HQ for the first media access of the offseason program. Ill be sure to take a selfie for you to analyze. Ill be the clean-shaven one.
